How did you get on? Very nice lad offered me his afternoon slot as he needed to leave early. Tried to do things "the right way" and went to control to pay to be added as an extra driver. Was told bluntly "it doesn't work like that". Offered to pay admin fee or preferably charitable donation but basically got told to do one! Everyone's a loser...
Dreadful, hardly encourages people to do things properly when it becomes a case of only being able to get on track at all by swapping wristbands (meaning the driver's not signed a disclaimer, had their licence checked nor attended a briefing).That sort of thing needs agreeing in advance with whoever runs the event next year, whether that be MSVT again, or Bookatrack or Circuitdays, Javelin, whoever. They need a more lively driver's briefing too ;-)
Besides that, it was a great day with sunny weather in the morning, cold, windy but completely dry all afternoon. No offs (well, nothing causing damage or a stoppage, but I did see some dirt & gravel at Druids that had been dragged on by someone who'd clearly, err, had a moment
) and only one red flag....not caused by a Porsche 
Driving standards were good too from what I saw. There were lots of nice cars in the paddock and it was nice to catch up with people...and re-acquaint myself with Boxsey's wife's fabulous baking (why he's not immensely overweight is a miracle).

Thanks Marcus - would have said cheerio but you must have been out when we headed off.Seemed very silly to me - as you say, a cheeky wristband swap and nobody would have noticed or cared, rock up with your driving licence and computer says no...

OK, heres some of my faves of the day. Its a cheap camera I'm afraid....
Sweeping up is exhausting....
Those pesky old 964's give the newer stuff a right old fright!
993 GT2...lush...and the 3.8 is not bad either!
Yes, I checked and its a real RUF RGT based on a 996GT3.2
Cup car
A lovely thing...
Another Cup car!
1 of only 3 genuine NGT's in the UK.
I dont know much about this, but it looks like a 3.8RS race car
Not a bad garage....
Some nice genunine old stuff and backdates in attendance. The yellow 2.4S was lovely.
